Tips

To maximize rotation and engage your obliques, pivot your back foot along the floor, allowing it to guide the movement and prevent locking your knee. Focus your gaze on your hands as they pull the handle to maintain proper upper body alignment and ensure a full range of motion. Initiate the pull explosively, driving through your hips and core to generate power and avoid relying solely on arm strength. Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the exercise to protect your joints and allow for a more fluid, controlled movement.
